Birth announcement in the Telegraph today.

Okay but why is the baby’s middle name Mary? It’s not like that’s Mary’s real name. Is it particularly common for girls to be given their mother’s name as middle name in the UK? Like would people think it was weird if Mary wasn’t her middle name?

I have my mother’s middle name! I don’t think it’s super common, but it’s not uncommon, if that makes sense.
